Precast Concrete Landscape Access
Create durable pedestrian access through retaining walls, terraced landscapes and changing grades with precast concrete stair units designed to coordinate with walls, pathways, drainage and surrounding landscape materials.
Stair and Wall Integration
Sanderson Concrete manufactures precast stair units that can be incorporated into landscape designs containing retaining walls. Depending on the site layout, the stairs may be positioned within an opening, beside the wall or between landscaped terraces. Sanderson Concrete does not design, supply or install the retaining-wall system.
Precast stair units can be installed within an opening prepared as part of the retaining-wall design. The wall designer and installer must coordinate the required opening, elevations, support conditions and drainage. two elevations.
The precast stairs can follow the retaining wall while remaining a separate landscape element. The retaining-wall contractor remains responsible for the wall system, while the stair layout is coordinated with the adjacent grades and pathways.
Precast stair units can connect terraces, pathways and outdoor areas across a sloped property. Retaining walls, grading, drainage and surrounding landscaping must be completed by the appropriate project contractors.
Sanderson Concrete manufactures and supplies the precast concrete stair units. Retaining-wall engineering, materials, installation, excavation, drainage and site landscaping are not supplied by Sanderson Concrete and must be completed by others..
